They are distinct enough of a person that they are called MAMiLs (Middle Aged Men in Lycra) and they are a market segment. Think about your average midlife crysis man who is rich enough to cough up a few grand for a road bike and these gay tight overalls for himself (and sometimes his wife as well). Then they hop in the car and travel to do some scenic (but not offroad) cycling routes. They will buy all sorts of sports drinks, "healthy" energy bars and other nonsense.
They are particularly uninteresting unless you are working in marketing, and they don't pose any threats (unless they are fucking pedaling in the middle of the lane and you cannot overtake them safely, but that is common with regular cyclists too).
Edit: Wow, they even have a Wikipedia entry.
The only area of my city that has cicling lanes is also the only place in probably the whole country that has a rainbow lgbt flag painted on the street, right on the cicling lane too,
